After returning home, Doctor Sun thought about Xiao Yao's words and seriously considered the feasibility of the matter. He had also made a small amount of pills, but judging by the degree of acceptance, decoctions were more likely to be accepted by everyone. Since the little girl asked, he should think about what to do!
Xiao Yao thought that if she asked for help from Dr. Sun, she wouldn't have to drink the bitter medicine. However, after two or three days of drinking the medicine, no one came to save her. Perhaps Dr. Sun was too busy, or perhaps he had forgotten, so Xiao Yao had no choice but to accept her fate of drinking the dark and bitter Chinese medicine every day.
At the invitation of the Wen family, General Xiao has been helping to supervise the construction of the martial arts training ground. He has been busy for more than ten days, going out early and returning late, and finally found time to accompany his granddaughter. After holding his light-feeling granddaughter, General Xiao's dissatisfaction overflowed.
There are several women in the family. They take good care of the grandson, but why can't they pay more attention to the granddaughter? I don't know what all these people are busy with.
General Xiao held his granddaughter in his arms for a while. Hey, why did he smell medicine on Ping'an? This was unacceptable. He quickly called Qiao Yue in to question her.
"Is your young lady ill? Why does she smell like medicine?"
Qiao Yue endured General Xiao's murderous gaze and tried her best to adjust her expression to a natural and calm one as she replied, "The eldest wife asked someone to prescribe some medicine to nourish the young lady."
"Really? Ping An smells weird.
It doesn't look like there is any tonic in it. Could you have been cheated by someone?
Ask someone to bring the prescription over so I can have someone take a good look at it. If you're not gaining weight despite all this nourishment, there must be something wrong with the prescription."
The Madam hadn't taught her how to respond to such questions, so Qiao Yue didn't dare to give a random answer. She could only reply ambiguously, "The prescription is with the Madam. I heard it was written by a famous doctor. Why don't I go ask the Madam now?"
"I'll ask myself at dinner. You guys go down!"
After the maids and old women left, General Xiao asked his granddaughter, "Ping'an, are you feeling any pain or discomfort anywhere?"
"No!" Even if she had, she didn't dare say it. If her grandfather knew she was injured, her parents would be the first to be blamed. Even if her fifth brother and Aqi didn't get beaten, they would definitely be punished by being made to kneel. Xiao Yao never thought of punishing her family for this incident, so she stood firm to protect her relatives.
"If you feel unwell, please tell Grandpa, okay?"
"I understand...Thank you, Grandpa." I really have the best grandfather in the world, who loves me as much as my parents, if not more.
"Who did this kid learn this from? She's even being polite to her grandfather." She scolded him, but she was so happy. Look at my granddaughter, she's so sensible. When she's older, I'll take her around in front of those old folks and make them jealous. No, what if some other grandson sets his eyes on my precious baby? Right, it's better to keep her at home for safety.
After a joyful afternoon of playing with his granddaughter, General Xiao remembered the "tonic" during dinner. Tong Mingyu, who had been prepared because Qiao Yue had tipped him off, replied calmly, "Grandpa asked Magistrate Sun to prescribe the prescription. Since it's a child, the dosage is naturally lighter, so the effects will be slower. Don't worry, the prescription is absolutely fine."
Since his daughter-in-law had said so, and he had also heard of Doctor Sun's reputation, General Xiao withdrew his thoughts on the prescription and turned to ask about his granddaughter's diet: "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't just focus on the housekeeping, pay more attention to Ping An. Look at Ajun and Aqi, and then look at Ping An.
If you don't know, you might think your family is full of step-grandparents, step-fathers, step-mothers, step-uncles and step-aunts. "
Those who were named one by one said that they would pay attention in the future. It has become a matter of the future, and if they don’t pay attention, who knows what accusations they will be given.
"You brothers too, stop studying and playing all day. If you have time for useless things, why not spend more time with your sister? Now that there is only one little girl in the family, you don't know how to feel sorry for her. How can you be her brother?"
Well, none of them escaped.
Xiao Yao smiled at everyone very apologetically. She didn't expect her grandfather to react so strongly. He was scolded thoroughly without any hesitation. She really had the potential to bring disaster to the country and the people!
Xiao Jingyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something in his own defense. He had done nothing, yet he suddenly became his step-uncle. After much deliberation, he finally gave up the idea. He must not make things worse. If his father singled him out from the collective criticism and gave him a personal show, it would be even more of a loss than gain.
Xiao Jingyan has been going out frequently recently. Since he is not going away, he has to find something to do, so he naturally spends less time with his niece than before. When things are settled, he will spend more time with his niece and try to get rid of the title of "step-uncle" as soon as possible.
The dinner ended with criticism. No one dared to tell the truth despite being scolded. Instead, they all thought that it was a good thing that the old man didn't know the truth, otherwise it would not be resolved by just a few scoldings. Even if there was no blood, there would probably be injuries.
As soon as Xiao Jingkang and his wife returned to Yayuan, Xiao Yi arrived right after them.
And he said with great remorse: "Dad and Mom, I'm sorry that I didn't care enough about Ping An. Grandfather's teachings were absolutely right. From now on, I will definitely change."
"Why should you blame yourself? Everyone in the family, except your grandfather, understands that Ping An is thin because he was born weak and because he was injured.
There's absolutely no need for you to take the blame on yourself. Your parents won't blame you."
Tong Mingyu has always been proud of being the eldest son. He is handsome, smart, and has excellent communication skills. The only thing that is a headache for him is that he doesn't like studying. When he is not practicing martial arts, he either goes out with a few friends or keeps fiddling with the weapons collected by his grandfather and father. He is simply obsessed with it.
"I will definitely spend more time with Ping An in the future. Grandfather loves her so much, and there's no reason for me, her older brother, to fall behind."
"If you have time, I hope you can spend more time with your sister. But you don't have to feel any burden. Just focus on your own things. I will take good care of your sister at home."
Xiao Yi and Xiao Yang mostly called Ping'an by her name, but Xiao Jun kept calling her "sister" all the time.
The sound of "da, da" footsteps sounded again, and Xiao Yang's figure appeared at the lifted door curtain. Compared with his two brothers who had practiced martial arts since childhood, Xiao Yang was indeed thinner, but his unique temperament was different from other boys in the Xiao family. He was steady and scholarly, giving people a very reassuring feeling. He was strict with himself and others, which made everyone avoid him.
"Meet Daddy, meet Mommy."
"Why are you here so late?" Tong Mingyu walked forward and touched his son's face and hands. Fortunately, they were not too cold. He pulled him to sit on the chair and asked someone to bring a hot water bottle and handed it to him. He thought to himself: Boys are just careless and don't know how to take care of themselves.
"Are you safe? Are you asleep?"
"Your mother found Ping'an a maid with a nice voice and reads to her every day. She might have fallen asleep listening to the books." Xiao Jingkang admired his wife very much. How did she come up with such a bad idea? He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the many times he had encountered his daughter drowsy. The poor little girl looked at him eagerly and asked for "a different book". Her cute expression made him want to go up and rub her again.
"What books are you reading?" Xiao Yang asked eagerly, as if to tell her to come to him if she needed any enlightenment books. Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Yi's mouths twitched after seeing this. The little girl was waiting day and night, dreaming of getting a new book, but her dear third brother was offering her more textbooks. Is there anything more speechless than this?
"Ahem...it's 'Three Character Classic', 'Thousand Character Classic', and 'Hundred Family Names'." Tong Mingyu felt that his son would definitely understand his intentions.
Xiao Yi curled his lips again. No wonder his father said Ping An would fall asleep. If it were him, he would fall asleep too.
Xiao Yang hung his head in silence. He did agree with his mother's point of view, but he also felt a little sorry for his younger sister. Xiao Yang thought to himself that it was really strange. Why did the same thing seem reasonable when it happened to others, but when it happened to his younger sister, it always felt too early, too much, and he should have waited a little longer?
